As the Piper Played

As the piper played,

the blood dripped from wounded men

staining more than the land they fell on.

Tears of the living and the dead;

etched on the heart of the future,

grief a century would not erase.

The tears still fall,

as the piper plays.

 

As the piper played,

the strength ripped from broken hearts

straining more than the chests they came from

screams from the living and the dead

carved on the body of life

a warning to never forget.

The tears still fall,

as the piper plays.

 

As the piper played,

the breath slipped from shattered lives

chaining more than the band they fell from,

to remember the living and the dead

and carry them with them

in their hearts and minds forever.

The tears still fall,

as the piper plays.

 

As the piper played,

the life slipped from tortured souls;

chaining more than the sand they fell upon;

bound to the living and the dead

imprisoned by their sorrow

never forgetting the fallen.

The tears still fall,

as the piper plays.

A draft from the past….Pinocchio

I just found this among lots of draft blogs.  I could probably add something about The Three Little Pigs but for the sake of posterity I’ll leave it as it was written.

Let us not rush into any more wars,
Not on the word of a liar,
If only his nose grew like little Pinocchio,
Or his pants really did catch on fire.
He is an actor that has learned his trade,
In the Skull and Crossbones secret ways.
He plays with false flags,
As he drives around in jags
Acting like we’re all toys
Here for the joy of the Eton boys
To die in their wars
While inflicting more sores
In a world already so deeply scarred
Minds so terribly marred
Step back from the madness we see
It’s the only way clearly to see
We’ve been programmed with the language of lies
Terror’s been spread in their well acted sighs
Contagious the disease has run wild
Infecting the future of every child
Now they’re calling for more war?
As Scotland’s showing Westminster the door
We ain’t playing your rules,
You blood-thirsty fools
The extremists are your creation,
A result of bombing a nation
Well that and your skulduggery
And out and out thuggery
You think we don’t know
How you write the full script
Then play it over and over in our minds
Our emotions heightened to blind
The tears we have cried at the times you have lied
Have left a gift in their place,
With clarity we looked at the news,
No longer buying your views
Stop acting like we have no choice
And start listening as we speak with one voice
We will not be manipulated any more,
We will no longer fight in your wars
Gone are the ways of the past,
Our true voice set free at last
Peace the proclamation as we move forward with glee,
Reclaiming our sovereignty, we set ourselves free
Into a future at one with the World
Educating and empowering the boys and the girls.
Creating a future that shines a bright light,
On leading with love instead of dominating with might
We’re so close now Scotland, and the death throes are messy
And Cameron may be a bully but he’s also a big jessie!!
He’ll pull out every tool he can find to even the field
But it’s harvest time now and it’s time to yield
The future they planned is ours for the taking.
A future at peace is one we’ll be making
Decommissioning Trident with our courageous hearts
Showing the world we can have a fresh start
No longer tied to the bondage of past
Finally from the chains we’ve broke free at last
Imagining the future, drawing it close
Energising the vision, we want to see most.
Vote YES on the 18th September,
A day future generations will always remember.

Bairns Not Bombs

Bairns not Bombs the people cry, as destroying the world puts a glint in Jim’s eye.

How much we ask, to sell your soul?

How much for a weapon we don’t even control?

A whip of a lass with a helmet of gold, she’ll conquer you all with the sword that she holds.

Speaking the truth to the heart of a nation, no wonder she’s receiving standing ovations.

No more austerity and no more dodgy deals, it’s time now for things to get real.

We’ll cut through the crap and get to the nitty gritty and we’ll do it all while being optimistic and witty.

Without a chance you’ll try to compete with the answers pre-printed on your wee sheets.

The game’s a bogey, it’s far too late, so do me a favour and ditch the Bru crate.

Choose wisely who’s counsel you keep, because the people of Scotland are no longer asleep.

A three pronged weapon of mass destruction, don’t you know the new Earth’s under construction?

One built on love not fear and control, one where we value every single soul.

End Trident you mad-man, it’s the only sane decision.

End Trident and join the people with vision.

End Trident and earn the title leader, or be forever remembered as a death seeder.

The party’s over, it’s time to go home. Time to face the shadows when you’re all alone.

You sold out your people for the price of ambition when a much better choice would have been simply to listen.

As the dark night descends and into hell you go, you can tell yer pal Tony we’ve cast the death blow.

To hell with Labour and the lies they have told, a parcel of rogue’s who sold out for gold.

We Are The Miracle

Our World has gone quite mad, yet somehow I stay sane.
Even as I bear witness  to all this misery and pain.
My heart it feels so heavy with the antics of the mind.
Wondering what happened that stopped us being kind.
Religion, countries, separation, it’s all been manufactured,
Leaving cuts and bruises and a mind that’s badly fractured.

The illusion’s fell away and many, many see,
That everything’s not simple as it appears to be.
The answers lie inside us, but somehow I don’t know why,
Many turn away as they hear their family cry.
The ocean waves are noisy as Mother Earth roars.
It is time to heal from all our pains and sores.

The darkness is dense now and the one saving grace,
Is that we can change it when these shadows we face.
It’s best when the light’s on from within.
Then we heal the World by sharing a grin.
The one breath of life, is what we all share.
So maybe it’s time we all start to care.

The fate of our future lies in our hands.
So let us lift our hearts, and not idly stand.
War is not the answer it never was,
A holy disaster with only one cause.
To generate income for the wealthy few.
Who’d rather invest in killing instead of you?

We are the miracle, so what are we waiting for?
Let’s get together and say NO MORE WAR!!
Peace is the way, the truth and the light,
Not by flexing our muscles and acting with might.
Stop for a moment, and breathe nice and deep.
And then finally we may awake from this sleep.

Let There Be – A 21st Century Request

Let there be peace in the World.

Let there be peace in our hearts.

Let there be light in the darkness and calm in the storm.

Let rain and snow be all that falls on our heads.

Let little children sleep snug in their beds.

Let the evil end as the hurt we tend.

Let the futility of war be seen by all.

Let all peace lovers answer the call.

Let people see it’s the same enemy we share,

And that at least 99% really do care.

Let the solutions shine through in this hell we’ve created

With people poisoned and more sedated.

Let bombs no longer fall in our name.

Let us be able to let go of the shame.

Let us see the truth through the lies,.

let our hearts heave with weary sighs.

Let those who create wars be tried for their crimes.

And those who follow orders break free in time.

Let us create with love in our hearts,.

Let us together make a fresh start.

No War in Syria

Stop threatening our future, with your silly games.
All your menacing antics, you really should be ashamed.
Call yourself men, I’ll tell you this.
You are all behaving like silly little kids.

There are not toy soldiers, or rubber bullets you aim.
All for some perceived power and a little fame.
The patriarchs time is over, it’s time for dominance to end.
And women are at the ready to help our World mend.

It is time for balance, for women to have a voice.
So if you’d like to shut up now, I’ve had enough if your unruly noise.
Your greed it insults me as you do this in my name.
And even though I renounced you, you are still causing me such pain.

My heart aches for my family all around the World,
For all the beautiful children, the innocent boys and girls.
It’s time to end the madness and let sanity prevail.
The only way I see is to put the leaders in jail.

Leaders should be the example of what we want to see,
Not bullies, liars and cheats full of hypocrisy.
I don’t want your protection if it looks like this,
I’d rather live in peace and eternal bliss.

Every single human, no matter where they are.
Have the potential within to be the brightest star.
Let us spend our money on education and working with the Earth,
Helping people see exactly what they’re worth.

War is a psychopath’s dream
The craziest money making machine.
It creates damaged people who recreate more chaos,
Instead let’s find a way to reach homeostasis.

A body of cells working together as one,
Celebrating that we share the same sun.
Our life’s are a blessing, it really is so.
So let’s stop this madness and get on with the show.

Someone Threw Down Their Weapon Today – A Poem by Kelly Flack

“The pioneers of a warless world are the youth that refuse military service.”
Albert Einstein

Someone threw down their weapon today.

They said “no more”, and walked away.

A tear was shed and a smile was had

as the person said quietly, “no more bad”

This happened eight thousand miles away

As I sat in my home on this warm Summers day

And I sent out an energy, born of pure love

From Australia to Israel, through heavens above.

Someone threw down their weapon today

As vibrational energies flowed their way

And they opened their eyes and they felt with their heart

And decided today, they would make a new start

And this person, though eight thousand miles away,

Touched another with beautiful words he did say:

“A thought I just had said theres no need to fight

I’ve been told I must shoot and it doesn’t feel right

So I’m walking away from this blood and this fear

And I hope you will join me right now, right here”

  And he held out his hand for the person to take

They gazed at each other as around them did shake

And the second man saw in his good friends eyes

That the killings bred only more hate and more lies

So another gun fell as the two men held hands

And they smiled and nodded, their actions felt grand

Then ANOTHER man saw them, the message was shared

From one man to another, all life must be spared

Regardless of where you might live on this Earth

A vibration of Love helps us realise our worth

We are brothers and sisters that may be worlds apart

May we step into Love and ALL live from the Heart

Do what “feels” good, live a passionate life

Put your focus on joy, not on worry or strife

From the hearts in the Earth, from my Soul and above

From Australia, I send you, Dear Reader – Much Love

Spread the love

Written by Kelly Flack ~ 18th November 2012 – Peace
